$19.95 sounds good to me. Dave, I'm staying.
When I was selling my Coleman Niagara, I paid a total of $100 to advertise it on RVtraderonline, and in our local newspaper, but go no replies from either.
I also advertised it on PUP Classifieds, and got a few phone calls and e-mails including the eventual person who bought it.
So for me, I have already got my money's worth.
Keep up the good work Dave.
I agree the price is excellent, but why do I want to join the Avree club when this Arvee Club is so much fun?
Just Kidding...thanks for the savings, excellent reason to stick around!
hehe! Yeah... AVREE club..... nahhhh I'm staying here!!!
New price sounds SUPER!!!!! Thanks for coming through Dave!
Looks like Elisa is off the hook!
Great News, Dave!
I'm staying, although that's not news, as I was staying at $29.95! Does this mean I can stay half again as much?
The board is great, the magazine is great, the folks here are great, where would I want to go?
Thanks!
Well, Cindy, since ColoradoMtn Gary wouldnt risk it, I am out on the streest looking for some trusting soul to take me up on a wager on the price of the board--maybe get a steak dinner out of it or a new 24volt DeWalt cordless drill :W (I can dream, cant I?)
there's something extra satisfying about all of us sticking together throough thick and thin and sticking with Dave and the board and coming out WINNERS--all of us! :S
Who says "nice guys always finish last?" WE ALL FINSIHED FIRST!!!!!!! :J :W
silly question: how do I know when my membership is up and I need to pay?
Great News! I too am staying here! This is my favorite site!
Thank you Dave, my family and I appreciate all that you do for us.
Jacqui
:D Thanks
Hey Dave,
I would have stayed for the $29.95. I won't knock a price decrease, especially today when everybody else is increasing their prices (I just received a $110 electric bill and a $200 natural gas bill!) I'm just wondering why.
I thought you needed the $29.95 last year to make ends meet, then you included your magazine and mailed it 1st class. Now you're only charging $19.95 for the same service.
For those who want to know, we will email you when your membership is up for renewal. There will be a special store item for renewals.
Thanks for all your support!

I guess Dave acted with the then current load the forum site had, and had to compensate for some fluctuation, in either side. As the bandwidth level stabilized at a different level, he was able to see what the actual costs were, will be and did not hesitate to pass on the savings to us.
I believe that when he decided to include the magazine together with the forum access, he already knew that the cost to run the site was going to be less than what he predicted. And once the figures stayed more or less steady, costs became more clear, and here we are at an unbeatable price for the magazine and the forum access.
My Hydro (electricty) bill is 400 bucks ! I am gonna sue them !

First off, if I knew what I was doing I wouldn't be publishing anymore. I was supposed to be filthy rich by now. Instead I just make a little bit of money, but have a magazine and a loyal subscriber base that I just love. PUT is my baby and I'm willing to do anything to keep the wheels turning.
To answer your questions - we needed more income to keep the site on the $1000+ per month server necessary to accommodate the 7500 daily visitors that we had in 2002. We ditched that server when our audience shrank and our internet expenses are under control. If we can retain the majority of our members we'll be fine. The $19.95 rate may also attract some new members which would OK too.
That's why
Dave
Hi Dave,
Great deal! The forum and the magazine provide a wealth of information. Plus the interaction with the community that's been built is worth twice the price!
Dave, we'll all be happy to do whatever we can to help you keep those "wheels turning". :) They are probably almost as important to us as they are to you :D Your explanation makes perffectly good sense and we appreciate it :S :W
....The big wheel keeps on turning....
(sorry, I just couldn't help myself)
Yes, you know there's no question that I'll be re-upping, and as a few others have said, I would have paid the 'other' price, if I had to.
T
;)
It is easy to say we would have paid the old price.....but we would have! Anything to keep the site successful! Your right Dave, it's your baby and it shows!!!!! Thank you!
Dee
Well, I guess I'm comming to this party late - but thanks for the new price Dave!
Sounds good to me, Dave!
:M Rollin'... :M Rollin'...
I Re-upped (renewed) my subscription about 2 weeks ago JUST so I wouldn't miss out on anything here! Now to find out that I'll be re-imbursed $10 makes it feel like an even better deal!
Thanks again Dave,
Cheryl
One recommendation I would make is that, now that I'm trying to sell my popup, it would be nice if Arvee Club member classified ads could be pinned to the top of the page with unregistered guests following. I find I have to bump mine to the top. It would just be a nice perk for members for our classifieds to get priority treatment.
I will be renewing my Arvee Club membership.

Good idea - let me know what you post it.
Wow...you can bet we'll stay around. PUT is the best and I look so forward to the magazine. I've recommended it to several people I've met either camping or looking at PUs.

My ad is titled "1999 Tracker Trailstar 12SC."
Just wanted to point out I think all registered members with ads should be first, not just mine. Unregistered guests would follow.

The software does not have the capability to "stick" members ads automatically. We can do it easily if you let us know. Please advise when sold.
I will post a notice on the Classified Forum
